CITY OF DUNCAN

EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

Purpose of Evaluation System:

The purpose of this evaluation system is to:

Establish general City-wide standards by which performance within each category of work will be evaluated; Communicate Supervisory expectations for successful performance; Develop a mutual understanding between employee and supervisor of changes in employee work conduct that

will result in a higher level of employee performance; Focus the organization on effective use of allocated resources (people, equipment, materials, facilities, capital

improvements, and contracted services) toward achieving expected and realistic service levels and products.

General Instructions:

Employees are to be evaluated by their immediate supervisor (the person that received points for supervising them in the pay plan). The evaluation form should be submitted from that person on up the chain of command through the Director.

Employees should be evaluated on their performance for the entire review period. Documentation on performance (both good and bad) should be kept by their supervisor throughout the review period for use in completing the evaluation form. (The documentation will be the property of the City of Duncan and will follow the employee if they transfer to someone else’s supervision or if the supervisor transfers or leaves employment, the documentation is to be left for the new supervisor.) The evaluation is not to be based on the subjective opinion of the person completing the evaluation. Supervisors should know exactly what the employee’s job is and how that person is performing it. The supervisor should observe performance many times during the review period. If an employee’s performance does not meet expectations, the supervisor should have been communicating, coaching, and training the employee to help them meet expectations. There shouldn’t be too many surprises for employees during the evaluation interview if they have been properly communicated with by their supervisor. Employees with performance problems must have a supplemental evaluation completed to address the performance problems.

Performance of “below expectations” can be expected for employees with limited time in a position. In such cases, the rating is not intended negatively but as a realistic evaluation of an employee in a learning environment.

Comparison is to be made between the employee and the standards for the rating criteria, not to other employees.

All ratings of “Below Expectations” and “Exceeds Expectations” must have written explanations supporting the ratings (on form). There should also be documentation available to back up the ratings.

Supervisory effort or required employee effort to correct a problem or weakness including any documented disciplinary action that occurred during the rating period must be included in the comments section.

The comments section of the evaluation should include:A. Notations of any discipline received during the rating period.B. Notations of any commendations or recognitions received during the rating period (i.e. letters of

commendations, recognition as employee of the year, quarter, etc.).C. Goals set for upcoming year. Employees should help set reasonable goals for themselves working with

supervisors who are to guide the employees toward achieving their full potential and the achievement of their professional ambitions.

The employee can request a review of their appraisal up the chain of command to the Department Director. There is no review beyond the Department Director.

NOTE:

The above Administrative review is not intended to prevent any bargaining unit member from exercising contractual and statutory rights to grieve and arbitrate in conformance with Article VII, Grievance Procedure and the FPAA. (Fire and

46

Page 47: Contract 2013.doc  · Web viewArticle VII Grievance Procedure 9. Article VIII Seniority 10. Article IX Outside Employment ... Article XIV Employee Fringe Benefits 12. Article XV

Police Arbitration Act). It is intended that the above stated procedure be exhausted and precede formal grievance action. TIMELINE

Supervisors should discuss the performance standards and evaluation form with new employees at the beginning of their employment so that the employee has a clear understanding of what’s expected and of the guidelines by which they’ll be evaluated. Employees should be encouraged to make notes of what they’ve accomplished during this period.

All performance appraisals for non-probationary employees will be completed on a fiscal year basis.

ALL probationary employees must have an appraisal completed every 3 months, at a minimum. These can be done more often. The annual evaluation completed at the end of the probationary period would be the evaluation that determined whether or not the employee was eligible for an increase.

Employees with performance areas of “below expectations” must have a supplemental evaluation completed to address the performance problems.

Each employee will have a minimum of one performance appraisal completed each year.

METHOD FOR EVALUATION

The employee will be provided a copy of the policy and a blank evaluation form to rate each category for himself/herself using the criteria provided.

Supervisors will prepare an evaluation draft whereby all categories are rated according to the criteria provided in this policy.

The supervisor and employee will methodically discuss each category, especially when there are differences of opinion for any categorical rating.

At least one realistic, achievable goal should be set jointly by the supervisor and the employee for the next evaluation period. The goal could be as simple as choosing one or more categories in which the rating is below “exceeds expectations” and defining what needs to be done to bring the rating up. It needs to be clear to the employee that they will be evaluated on the goal(s) set for the next evaluation period.

The supervisor may adjust any category for the final evaluation if appropriate. The supervisor will prepare the final evaluation for each category. The final evaluation form is all that is turned in to the Personnel Department.
